The Publication For Garage Professionals

AUTOTECH Recruit is celebrating scooping the Recruitment Agency of the Year accolade at the Workshop Power Awards for the second year in a row.

Now in their second year, the awards were held at the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth and, as before, were judged by trade professionals, providing invaluable recognition within the automotive industry.

Autotech Recruit sales director Andrew Sly, who collected the award, said: ‘To be recognised within our industry is a fantastic achievement. As a recruitment agency solely dedicated to the automotive industry, winning this award is testament to the great reputation our team is building throughout the motor trade.

‘We are committed to keeping workshops running across the UK, and work hard to place highly skilled candidates into both temporary and permanent positions on a daily basis, while providing them with essential, ongoing training.’

This is the second agency of the year award that Autotech Recruit, which was established in 2010, has won in the past six months, having picked up a Global Recruiter Industry Award in July.

James Baggott, chief executive of the Baize Group and founder of Workshop Magazine, said: ‘Every good garage needs good people – your reputation depends on having the right team working for you and representing you. It’s not just about quality of work but attitude – particularly in customer-facing roles.

‘Autotech Recruit was praised for finding the best people for the job exactly when our readers needed it, and being extremely helpful in every situation. It’s a business that specialises in temporary technical staff for the motor trade, which is vitally important to the garage industry, so it’s no wonder it’s retained this title.’
